Description
Priory Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century. It has two storeys and a three-cell plan. The building is timber-framed, with parts that are plastered and rendered, and it is covered with pantiles. There is an internal chimney stack featuring four attached hexagonal shafts on a high rectangular base. The windows are three-light casements with diamond leaded panes, and some at the rear contain 17th-century glass and old leading. The farmhouse has two doors, and one of the ground floor ceilings displays moulded joists.
